What OS should I use?

[Harambe2341]

Building my first PC, with not a lot of knowledge into OS, and I primarily plan on using Steam, Chrome, and Origin. Is Windows worth it if I just use basically those things?

Yes, Windows is worth it for those things as Steam and Origin primarily use Windows for games. Is it the price that puts you off?

depends on like you could use linux simple and a lot of options runs better check if your steam games are supported tho

[Harambe2341]

Yeah, I know I'll use those things for gaming

Yeah its worth it. Most games and programs don't work on Linux. Its just a more polished os than linux but don't think I mean that Linux is crap. Its good for a lot of cases. I use it on all of my other PCs than my main ones. But I think that Windows is just generally better and despite its cons and such, I would still say its better

[Wonderguy464712]

i use windows and i always have fucking issues with updates, antivirus updating and all kinds of shit its annoying but i didnt pay shit. Its slow and do whatever the fuck it wants itself.

You can get Windows for like $20 anyway so that might make it more reasonable

I prefer Windows 8.1, but if you're getting a 10-series GPU, I'd go with Windows 10.

[NTDaws]

Well for one things, Linux doesn't have much support for games. SO YES Microsoft Windows 10 or 8.1 is worth it.

AFAIK Origin does not have a native linux client so you need to run your games on the Wine translation layer; you'd be better of with windows. Some steam games are native on linux; theres a filter on steam's web site for you to see what is available. Chrome is supported officially on linux.
